Re: Using variables in paths
The use case for me is that I have topics that are mostly the same but the screen shots are different for every client. I want to use a variable to point to a different folder for every client. The file names for the screen shots are the same. Only the folder is different. This functionality alread...

Re: Zendesk Credentials Issue
I had this problem, and it was a Zendesk authorisation thing. You need to be a very specific type of Zendesk admin, not just their "admin lite" thing. I can't remember the exact terminology, and the Flare docs on Zendesk stuff could do with being updated with the current Zendesk terminolog...

Re: On the fly definition of variables as part of target building
Can't think of any way to do that, but how many different versions of the manual do you need to build? Could you have three or four targets with those variables set, so you don't have to think about setting them each time? It might be a bit too much of a pain if you have more than two different valu...

Re: Creating a soft line break in Flare?
Thank you both - I will tell the author to give it a try. She needs to use soft breaks, not P Tags due the spacing - this is for screen text input/output, so she doesn't want the large space in between lines, but for regular content the spacing must remain as is with regular P tags. Thank you! I su...

Re: Conditions based on mobile OS
You could do it with the WIDTH thing. Not in Flare at the moment, but you can define what medium is used depending on the width of the screen. Because mobile screens are typically a lot narrower than tablets or laptops, that's how I would approach the problem.

Season's Greetings to the MadCap Community
Just a quick message on what, for many, is the last day before the Christmas break. I just wanted to wish you all a happy Christmas and a peaceful, and fruitful, 2024.

Re: Table rows disappear when making edits
I'm guessing your primary target is PDF. I seem to remember coming across that bug years and years ago, and the way I got round it was to set the primary target to a web target (don't quote me on that - it was lots of years ago, so I might be misremembering). I can't remember if I ever logged a bug,...

Re: Possible to compare topics or snippets?
If there is, I've never found it. But I have used Beyond Compare, which I found much clearer than the comparison in GIT, because it shows you exactly what the differences are, not just the fact that there are differences.

Re: Breadcrumbs for multiple TOC's
Breadcrumbs relate to the main TOC (what's in the side nav if that's what you're using), so I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve. If your main TOC has the sub-tocs nested in them, it should work. I can't quite picture what you've done, so I can't suggest a solution for you.

Re: Migration Flare -> Flare
When you DO get buy-in and permission, there are a couple of things that might help reduce a tiny bit of the inevitable pain. 1. Make sure your writers all have the same file/folder structure on their machines. So, for example, if you have your global project in D:\Flare\Global and your child projec...
